he would likely be a loser. but 30/60 is way tougher than 20/40. he could probably beat 20/40.

There is no way that someone who's never played above 3/6 could beat 20/40. He could proably learn to, but jupming right into 20/40 is not the best use of his newfound money.

If he goes to live 30/60 and continues to study the game, I think he will be fine. He will lose a lot at first, but posting hands and if the person is intelligent enough to succeed at high limits, I don't see why he can't catch on. 30/60 live is a piece of cake BTW. Online, it is tough as hell.

i know from past exprience that it is a different game at 30 60 and it took me a couple months and a lot of lost money to get used to it.

Its not like these multi-tabling 30 players would make 5bb/100 if they dropped to 3-6.

Why wouldn't they?

I think 5 would be tough just due to the pretty high effective rake. Obviously a 30/60 winner would kill 3/6, but I am relatively sure 5/100 isn't possible in a game that rakes .5 BB/pot assuming your opponents are at least ATTEMPTING to play well.

Baron jumped from 3/6 6max to 75/150 thus far successfully in a matter of 2 or 3 months. I think if the 3/6 player was truly winning at 3BB/100 he could hang (1>WR>0) at 30/60 after a rough initial 5k hands getting used to the aggression.

I have some experience at 20/40 now and I think when I played 3/6 I wouldnt have gone broke if I moved up in your situation. I probably woulda been a loser at first. I think there are good amount of small stakes posters who play 3/6 and, judging from their posts, could also do this. There are even more players who only playe 3/6 briefly who could have at the time.

So to the OP, my guess is yes (to 20/40 not 30/60) if that 3bb/100 is over a largish sample.

I don't have experience in 30/60 so I cant comment on that, but with tons of datamining and meticulous table selection anything is possible.
